We all are responsible for making sure Texas children are safe. While the core mission of Child Protective Services and Child Care Licensing is to protect children, we can only keep children safe through a collaborative effort with communities, service providers and, most importantly, Texas families.

There are many resources available to help keep children safe. Below, you can find various tools, tips, and resources to help in a variety of circumstances.

If you have a concern about a child that may be in danger or may be a victim for abuse or neglect, please contact the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services or law enforcement. Call 1-800-252-5400 to make confidential reports or online at: Texas Abuse Hotline
